Forever Changes Album Tab

Forever Changes Album Tab - Love
 
*This is not my original work, just a compilation of Andrew Rogers'
already-published tabs for every song on this wonderful album.
I just felt that there should be an album tab for reading simplicity.

Verse 2:
 
    You are just a thought that someone
    Somewhere somehow feels you should be here
    And it's so for real to touch
    To smell, to feel, to know where you are here
    And the streets are paved with gold and if
    Someone asks you, you can call my name
    You can call my name

Verse 3:
 
    By the time that I'm through singing
    The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing
    More confusions, blood transfusions
    The news today will be the movies for tomorrow
    And the water's turned to blood, and if
    You don't think so
    Go turn on your tub
    And it it's mixed with mud
    You'll see it turn to gray
    And you can call my name
    I hear you call my name

Verse 1:
 
              D                       C
    Well I remember when you used to look so good

    And I did everything that I possibly could for you
                D               C
    We used to ride around all over town
                 D                    C                D   C   D   C

Verse 2:
 
    In the middle of the summer I had a job bein' a plumber
    Just to pass till the fall it was you I wanna ball all day
    Ah-we were walkin' along, honey, hand in hand
    I'm a-thinkin' of you, mama, when you're thinkin' of another man
    But you can go ahead if you want to
    'Cause I ain't got no papers on you

Verse 3:
 
    All alone on the bone when I didn't have a home
    When I saw the way I was and I knew where I was supposed to be
    I was twitchin' so I turned and it's really hard to learn
    That everyone I saw was just another part of me
    But you can go ahead if you want to
    'Cause nobody's got no papers on you
    (No, babe, it's just a falsehood)

Verse 1:
 
    B7addE [as per intro]
    Where are you walking, I've seen you walking
    Have you been there before?    [cello: A -> F#]
    Walk down your doorsteps, you'll take some more steps
    What did you take them for?

    There's a private in my boat and he wears
     D               C             E
    Pins instead of medals on his coat
                A            G6
    There's a chicken in my nest and she won't
     D              C            E
    Lay until I've given her my best
 
              B7
    At her request she asks for nothing
             E
    You get nothing in return
            B7
    If you want she brings you water
            E                   B
    If you don't then you will burn
 
[repeat intro riff, 4X w/bass each time]
 
Verse 2:
 
    You go through changes, it may seem strange
    Is this what you're put here for?
    You think you're happy and you are happy
    That's what you're happy for
 
    There's a man who can't decide if he should
    Fight for what his father thinks is right
    There are people wearing frowns who'll screw you up
    But they would rather screw you down
 
    At my request I ask for nothing
    You get nothing in return
    If you're nice she'll bring me water
    If you're not then I will burn

Verse 1:

    This is the time and life that I am living
              E                     G

             D                                  G
    For the time that I've been given's such a little while
             D                                G
    And the things that I must do consist of more than style

Verse 2:
 
    This is the only thing that I am sure of
    And that's all that lives is gonna die
    And there'll always be some people here to wonder why
    And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye
    There'll be time for you to put yourself on
 
[repeat horn break]
 
Verse 3:
 
    Everything I've seen needs rearranging
    And for anyone who thinks it's strange
    Then you should be the first to want to make this change
    And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game
    Do you like the part you're playing
